Question

Do I need to be at least 14 to operate a moped in South Carolina? ?

Answer 1

I don't know if they consider Mopeds the same as motorcycles, but I found the following about motorcycles:

If you are 15 years old and have held another class beginner permit for 180 days, you are eligible for a motorcycle beginner's permit by taking the vision test and motorcycle knowledge test. If you have a conditional driver's license, you can get a motorcycle conditional license by taking the vision test, the motorcycle knowledge test and the motorcycle skills test.

If you are 15 years old and have never had a license or beginner's permit, you must have your motorcycle beginner's permit for at least 180 days before you can apply for a motorcycle license.

If You are Under 18 Years of Age:

* You must bring your parent or legal guardian with you to sign your application.

* You must bring your beginner's permit.

* You must submit Form PDLA that certifies you have:

Completed a driver's education course

Had satisfactory school attendance

Practiced driving with your licensed parent or guardian for 40 hours, including 10 hours of driving practice at night.

Form PDLA allows you to submit all of these certifications and is available at your school and this website:

* You must pass the vision and road skills tests.
